My passion for animals started at a young age, and led me to pursue many opportunities to work with and learn about animals.I completed my B.S. at the University of Minnesota in 2014 where I studied Animal Science with classes focusing on production and companion animals, as well as wildlife.I spent my last semester studying in Australia where I was able to learn about wildlife in the field, and decided to stay in Australia for another 6 months to work on a scuba diving boat on the Great Barrier Reef.Upon returning home I worked in education at Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium and Como Park Zoo and Conservatory. In 2015, I became a Field Crew Member for the Conservation Corps and gained valuable natural resource skills in the field.In 2017, I joined Cargill as a Retail Formulation Specialist where I️ was able to apply my education and experiences in Animal Nutrition. I enjoyed the opportunity to be much more analytical and strategic in that role which led me to join a global team in Cargill’s Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH) business in 2022. In my current role I lead the implementation process around Cargill’s Nutrition System working with all of our global formulation teams and species in ANH.
